IN THE COMMONS, Parnell and Gladstone Make Strong Specches on the Address, LoNDON, August 24.—In the commons to- night Parnell resumed the debate on the ad- dress in reply to the queen’s speeeh. He said the Irish party had every reason to be satis- tied with the present position. The majority of the liberal party had declared In favor of Irish automony. ‘The tories had only prof- ited from tempor liberal liesitation. After the present government had ex hibited thetselves for a ye so, a speetacle for God and man, in the attempt to govern Ire- Land, liberal hesitation would vanish, 11 he had only agreed to the adoption of the land purehase act of 1885 beeause he then believed a settlement of the national que tion would come concurrently, and because the conservative government had sent to Ireland Lord Carnarvan, who was an avowed home ruler. Now the conditions wereentirely changed. Gladstone’s purehase scheme would have safely settled the land question. If the government thought of solving the Irish question without settling the land questions it would find it had got hold of the wrong end of a very thorny sticl Paruell read his amendment to the address and proceeded. e said judicial rents were too high. e accused the zovernment of en- couraging landlords to evict by wholesale, knowing agraran erime always followed evictions, he Irish would be patient, but the ineitements held out by the landiords, who tried to exact impossible rents, would bear fruit and might produce exasperation, The landlords would clamor for coercion and force the government to adopt coercive measures. e believed cocreion would come, and very severe coercion, too. In conelusion he said: “The Irish will never submit 10 a government not their own. The question of autonomous government will always be tixed in the heart of the Lrish people.” [Prolonged cheers " Gladstone upon rising was loudly cheered. He began by accusing the government of having taken an unusual course in €oing so far outside of the speech from the thron, He thought the government should have r served the main line for their measures until the measures themselves could be- presented. He intimated that he would take 1o part in thedivision on Parnell’s amendmient, because lie deprecated any attempt to force d detinite premature expression of opinion on the wolicy which the government foreshadowed Yo ‘their future ‘guldance, Their policy, lowever, wasopen to remarks.

Was the tenant, he asked, to be treated upon a basis of réal rentable Value of property and the landlord upon a basis of Judleial rent? Gladstone maintained that there was no power within parliament even 10 carry into effect such & fatal pro Cheers.| He had been taunted with having hecome the leader of Trish nationalists, as if that was & charge against him, But he was delighted at having any share or any part whatever in becoming o leader or follower—he did not eare which—in any movenment tending to wake smooth the deep path of the people of Lreland, and encourage liem to hove for a realization of thelr & rights. (Cheers.) He foared that the policy now angounced would increase the diflicul- ties which the late government had striven to diminish, beause that policy meant the ad- Journment of Ireland’s hopes, because it offered Ireland what she did not want, and ostponied as long as possible the confirma- fon, which alone would give rest and repose ! (Cheers.) : ood thit Parnell will not press his amendwient 1o a division.

John F. Robbins, county prosecutor, went to Indianapolis yesterday to counteract the influence of the petition with Governor Gray. Bates has all along confessed the killing, but_denied premedita- tion, which he admits in his confession, while portraving the killing as more fiendish than had heretofore been suspected. He also confesses to hitting a man with a sand-bag at Council Bluffs and throwing him under a walk, where he was afterward found dead, and supposed to have been frozen to death while drunk.

Tl period of popular Inaction is thus not only advantazeous for rest, but it prepares those who aro the nltimate arbiters in all matters of publicconcern togive patient leating to fait arzument when the time arrives for popdar discussion, Have the old differcnees between the v publican and demvcratic organizations been adjusted, or have fliey grown more and wmore pronoimecd? Are the questions over which the tepublicans and the demo- crats have waged a long contest to be now abandoned? 1s lingation in the court of pub- lie opinion to be discontinued and a settl ment effeeted by entering “neither party” on the people’s docket? Or, on the other hand, do the American peonle just now begin to see with clearer vision the aims and inte tions, the methods and the measures ol eac party, and are they waking to a new and more earnest strugule over polities that are irreconcilable, over measures that are in- herently and inevitably in confliet?” Let us inquire of these things in a spirit of candor! THE TARIFF POLICY, It is in the first place especially worthy of observation that in the history of industrial questions no party in time of peace has ever been more united in support of a policy than 15 the republican in support of a profective tariff to-day. At the late session of congress a measure known as the Morrison tariff bill, designed to first weaken and ultimately de- stroy the protective policy, was resisted by so compact an_organization ' of the republican mewbers that a sinigle vote from New York and two or three votes from Minnesota were all that broke the absolute unaniity of the party, On the other hand, the vast majority of democratic menibers supported the free tr side of the question: but a small minorit uniting with the republicans, found them- selves ablo to defeat the measure, These leading facts indicate that the policy of protection yersus free tiade is an lssue shaped and determined no longer by seetional preference—but has become general nd - national—affording a distin well marked line of division between the repub- lican and democratic partie ‘T'he hostility of the demoeratie party to protection Las entailed upon the country a vast loss and has in_many ways obstructed the prozress and developnient of eertain see- tions. Since the financial panic of 1873 and the_contemporaneous soliditication of the southern vote, the democratie party has, with the exception of & single congie held control of thehouse of representative The power to originate revenue bills has been exclusively intheir hands and they have used it to the comfusion, the detriment, in many instanees to the destruction of new en- terprises throughout the union. - Confidence once shaken®is hiird to restore, aud the schemes of improvement which have been abandoned within the past ten years on ac- count of the uncertainty of our revenue laws constantly menaced by the democratic party in congress would have caused prosperity and happiness in many communities which “have felt the discouraging influence of dull times. The dem o party is constantly using the comvarative dullness in business, which th Own course in eongre for twelve years has largely developed, a5 an argument uinst the policy of protection. But it is worth while to_compare the condition of the country in th rof grace with its condi. tion the yeq » republicans suc ceeded in énacting their first protective tariff, In the nine states which still do the larger amount of manufacturing ror the country, and which did nearly all a quarter of “a century ago, it is interesting and_instructive to compare their financial conditions at the beginningof 1861 and at the beginniny of 1865, ‘The states referred to are the sixof New En land with New York, New.Jersey and renn- sylyania. In 1861 the country pre- sented a condition brought about by’ nearly an enfire generation of free trade, “and the aggrezate amounts which the people had ac- cumulated in their savings banks during that long perioa was less than one hundred and sixty millions of dolla In the same states on the first day of Januafy, 156, the gate amount in the savings” banks was overone thousand and twenty millions of dollars. The difference in the amount of savings in Maine for the two periods show that in January, 1861, the people had less than a million and a halt in bank, while January, 185, the people had over’ thirty-six millions in bank. . During this period it must be remembered that the increase of population in the nine states has been about 35 per cent., while the increase of deposits in savings banks has been at the rate of 800 per cent, It must be remembered that 35 per cent, of this t sum belongs to the wa vorkers, ‘The vast number of depositors nay be in- ferred from the fact that in Maine, where the aggresate population i less. than 700,000, the 6,000,000 of depositsare divided between 110,- 000 'persons, showing that about one in six of the total population is & depositor, and that the average to each is about three hundred and twenty dollars, The figuies with whlch we are dealing haye been coniined fo the nine states nau cause in 181 the manufacturing done in this country was mainly coufined 1o those states, But the thousand millions of savings by the workers within their borders become still more signifieant, as an economie fact, when we remember that since 1861 the great body of northwestern states under the inspiring influences of n protective tarifl haye in turn developed an enarmous aggregation of manu- facturing industries. Indiana, Michi- gan, Illinois, Wiscon ger de- voted to aericultyre solely, but ha of manufacturing industries larger in aggre- gate value thanallgthe manutactures i all the states of the union ou the day Mr. Lin- coln was first inaugotated. And yet another eawparison may be made still ore embarms8tng to the free trade doc- trinaries aud leult for them to an- swer. While the Auuerican workmen in nine states, workhig under a protective tariff, Lave over p thjoisand willions of dol- Jars in savin ks, the vastly greater number of \vufl 1 the lo in England, Ire- ales, the whole United Kingdom, all, working under free trade haye less than four lmmh?fi millions of dollars in the aggregate, both 1in savings banks and postal banks. 1 hesg figures and these dollars are the most persuugive of arguments and the conclusion du b i 50 plain that the running man way fead. THE LABOR QUESTION, ‘The leading featgre in the industrial field of 1585 and 155G §s the discoutent among the men who earn theik bread by skilled and un- skilled labor, Uneasiness and uncertainty are found on all gides: there are wise ain many and with not a few there isaim- ss with its inevitable resuit of dis- appointment and discouragement. ‘The wan who could by any prescription remove this discontent and at once restore harmony and happiness, would be philosophier, patriot and statesman, The wan who pro: s 1o be able to do it will generally provetobea compound of empiricism and ignorance. But in the end, perhaps by toilsome paths, *with many blunders and some wrongs, noone need aoubit that sound and just and righteous con- clusions will be reaclied. Perfect freedom 10 test the virtues and secure the advantage of organization, o exert Strong power through combinition, are certainly among the common rights of all men under a repubi- lican government. Labor associations have the satie sanetion and the same nights that #uy forw of incorporalion way assuwe—sub- land, Scotlandaug UGUST ject, as all must be, to the condition that s and property < shall_be re speeted, 1t is well for every citizen of a free goyernment Lo keep before his eyes and in his thoughts the honored maxim that “the liberty of one man must always end where the rights of anc beaii.” In what may b ed the political creed of the various la ations [ have ob. served somo sing s of pertinent and, as I think, controtling facts - facts which in a'spirit of friendship and eandor 1 beg to pointout. Lread, a few days ina croed put forth by an association of Ki of Labor, in anot arecital of teen distinet which desired to ha wred ot maintained by national legislation, Among these there was not the slightest mention a protective tariff, That might have been ac- cidental: or oit niight have implied a_ per- fect sense of safety in regard to the continu- ance of the tariff; “or it niight have meant that those who proclaimed the ereed are in- different to the fate of protection. Inany event it would be well for the labor organizations to dilizently huguire and ascer tain how the wages of labor in the United States can be kapt above the rate of wages in England, Germany and_France on the same artieles of manutacture without the interven- tion of protective dut With the present cheap modes of interchange and transporta- tion of all commodities, 1 inquire of these gentlemen how, under the rule of free trade, can waes in the United States be kept above the general standard of European wages ? [ do not stop for the detail of argument, I only desire to lodge the question in the minds of the millions ot American laborers who have it in their power to maintan protectionor to innugurate free trade: who have it in their power to uphold the party of proteetion or the party of free trade. Anothier portentious fact has been omitted —so0 {aras | have observed- from the consid eration and judizment of labor organizations, They seem to have taken little or no heed of the existence of more than a million and a lialf of able bodied Jaborers in the south, with dark skins, but with expanding intellect, in- creasing intelligence and growing ambition. Wiile these men were slaves, working in the corn and cotton tields, in the rice swamps and o thio sugar plantations in the sonth, the skilled labor of the northern states felt no compehition from them. But sinee thev be- cawe freemen there has been a great chan go in the variety and skiil of the labor performed by colored nien in the south. “The great mass are, of course, still engaged in agricultural work, but thousands and tens of “thousands, and in fact hundreds of thousands, have en- tered and are entering the mechanical and semi-mechanical field, Of course they are underpaid, ceive far less than has been | to northern mechanies for are able to take no part in making laws for theirown protection, and they ire conse: quently and inevitably unable to maintain a tair standard of wages or to receive a fai proportion ot their proper earnings. 1 do not dwell on this subject at length, though it could easily be presented in_ agyras vating detail. 1 mention it only to place it before the labor organizations of the north, with this question addressed to them: Do you suppose that you can permanently main- tain in the northern states one seale of pric when just_beyond an_imaginary line on the south of us'a far ditferent seale of prices is paid for Jabor? The colored mechanic of the south is not so skillful a workwan nor so intelligent a man as you are, but if he will lay brick in a new cotton factory m South Carolina at half the price you are paid, it he will paint and plaster it at the same low rate, lie is inevitably ereeting an industry which, if the same rate of wazes be waintained tiroughout, will brive you out of business or lead you to the xates of his own poverty., ‘The situation is, therefore, plainly dis able and demonstrable, v demoeratic party shallsieeced, as they have n annually attempting for twelve vears in destroying the protective tariff, the ans of the United States will be thrown into direct comvetition ~with the highly skilled and miserably pald labor of Europe. Second—If the aemocratic party shall be able to hold control of the national govern- ment,. the colored Iaborer in the southern states will remain_where the southern demo- crats have placed him politically, subject to the will of the white man, and unable to fix the price or command the value of his labor. The colored man will, therefore, under these conditions and influences, remain a constant quantity in the labor market, receiving in- adequaie compensation for his own toil, and adily crowding down the compensation of e [abor, if not to his own level yet far be- just and adequate standard, At every turn, therefore, whether it be in exposing the white Amerjcan laborer to the danger of European competition by destroy- ing the protective tarifl, or whether it be in reducing the wages of the white man by un- fairly making the colored laborer his faial competitor, in all the fields of toil the demo- eratic party north and south appears as_the enemy of every interest of the Awmerican workinen. With that party placed in full power and with all its measures achieved, the wages of the American laborer will fall as certainly as effect follows cause, TUE FISHERY QUESTION. ‘The fishery” dispute between the United States and Great Britain has passed through many singukr phases in the last seventy years, but never before, I think, was it sur- Founded with such extraordinary circum- stances as we find existing at this moment. On'the 31st day of January, 185, months before the fishing season of that year began, President Arthur'issued a procl tion giving notice to the people that the fish- ery articles of the treaty of Washington (1871) had, according to the conditions of the treaty, been formally terminated. —'This termination of the treaty had been decreed by an oyerwhelming vote of both branches of congress and was now made final and effective by the president’s lpmuluumnrm, “This course had_been earnestly desired by the American fishermen, was ‘fully under- stood by them and was completed” without protest from a single citizen of the United States. Five wecks after President Arthur’s pro- elamation was issued his term closed, and with the new administration Mr. Bayard be- came secreta ate. In three or four days after he talled in oflice the Brltish ministe ckville West, sub- mitted a proposition to continue the racipro- cal fishing arrangements until January 1, 156, After a brief correspondence Al Bayard accepted_the offer. In other we Mr. West and Mr. Bayard made a treaty of their own by which Anierican fishermen w to be_allowed to fish in British waters six months longer, and British fishermen should freely fish in Awmerican waters for the same period, 1t would certainly be apart from my desire to pass any personal eriticism upon the presi- dent, of whom I wish at all times to speak in terms of respeet, but, viewing thisas a pub- lic question and'speaking only with the free- dom of a_private citizen, L must express my be that this transaction was throughout most extraordinary and unprecedented, 1t was extraordinary and unprecedented and altogether beyond his proper power for a secretary of state in the recess of congress to revive any part of a_treaty which congres had expressly terminateds it was extra nary for a seeretary of state to begin nego- tiatlons for the renewal of a treaty which every department of government had just united in annulling; it was extraordinary for & secretary of state to enter into @ trade with & _foreign minister for a pres- ent benefit to be paid for by the future action of the government, and most of all was it extraordinary that a pledge should be given 1o a foreign government that the president of the United States shoula in the future more than a half year distant—make a specitic recowmendation; on a specilic subject, in specific words to the conzress of the United States. That pledge was given and was held in the British foreizn office in London, and it took from the president all the power of reconsideration which the lapse of time and the change of circumstances might suggest and impose, It robbed the president Ym lLiac vice of his liberty as an executive. He was no longer free to interest in bis annual wes- sage of December what might then seem ex- pedient on the question of the fisheries, but Was under honorable obligations to insert word for word, letter for letter, the exact recommendation which the seeretary of state in the preceding month of June had prowised and pledged to the British ministry, Congress could not be induced to coneur in the president’s recomme ion for an lnter- national commission on the fisheries, and so the seneme for which Mr. Bayard and Mr. West had made such extraordinary prepara- tions cawe to naught. As soon as it became evident that congress would not accept the proposal for a new com- wission, the governwent of the Dominion of anada, with the presuiud approval of the ular eigh they ids d, They re- _puid in years past imilar work. They Imperial government, began @ series of out- [ willing | the | erat | of the United States to British hts | rages upon American fishing vessels and ishing crews -secking in every way to de stroy their business and to deprive them of their tishing rights. Their course continues to this day and is adopted by the Canadian government with the deliberate inte Uil and obvious expeetation of foreing conces slons from this government The humiliation of our situation has been tously increased by the vote of a majority of the democratic party in the house of representatives to throw open the markets nd Canadian tishermen, without duty or eharge and with: out securing to American fisnermen the right » tish in British and Canadian waters. This isan act of such unaccountable, rancorous hostility to the fishing interests of New Englaud that it is difficult even to compre hend its motiye, Joln Randolph so hated the wool tarifl that he felt like walking a mile to kick a she Do the noithern dem ocrats feel such adetermined hostility to the fishermen of New England that they would sacrifice n great national interest in order to intlict a blow upon thew? WELATIONS WITH MEXICO Another international trouble has mereased our sense of chagrin and humiliation. In contrast with our patient endurance of Cana- dian ontrage towards American fishermen, we have made an unnecessary and undizni- fied display of msolence and bravado towards Mexico. There is no adequate cause for the demonstration. 1 do not stop at this point to narrate the precise facts attending the ivi- prisonment of Mr. Cutting, 1 know that we cannot without loss of eharacter for honor and chivalry begin our negotiations with threats of war. 1 maintain that when the United States agreed to accept arbitration as the means of adjusting our grave dif- fieulties with England we eame under bonds to the public opinion of the world to offer whitration to any weaker power as the means of settling difliculties in all cases where we cannot adjust them by direct ne- votiation, 1f we are not willing to aceept that conelusion we plice ourselves in the dis- reputable attitude of accepting arbitra with a strong power and resorting to fc with a weak power. I am sure 1o Aner citizen of self-respeet desires Lo see his coun- try subjected to that degradation, For the United States to attack Mexico without giv- ing her an opportunity to be heard before an impartial tribunal of “arbitration would b for a great nation of unlimited power to put herselt to open shame before the world. There could not, fellow-citizens, in my Judgment, be a more deplorable event than a war between the United States and any other republic of America. The United States must bo regarded as the elde t family of commonwealths, day of our weakness we gave aid and com- fort to them in their straggle for independ- ence, and let us not fail now to culti friendly and _intimate relations with thew. Refraining from war_ourselves we shall gain the influence that will enable us to prevent war among them, so that peace_shall be s sured and pervetial on this continent, War in auy direction would prove a great ‘calam- ity to the United States, but war forced on Mexico would be a critie, marked in an es- pecial degree by eruelty. THIRD PARTY PROINIBITIONISTS, Referring to the third party movement in Maine, Mr. Blaine coneluded as follows: “The supporters of the third party adopt as their shibholeh thal “the repubfican party must be killed,” and they have secured the co-operation ot the democrat, of the free- trader, of the saloon proprietor, of all men who wish to keep six millions of colorea peo- le in the south disfranchised and oppressed. tin" an_ {nsincera coalition, an unhllowed partnership. an unholy alliance. — Against it the republiean party of Maine presents its uniform supnort of prohibition, jts splendid record of devotion to the protection of Ame- rican Jabor, its long and paticnt effort in behalf of those who are down-trodden and deprived of natural rizhts. The republican party, has always fought its battles single- handed, against’ great odds, and now with prineiple untarnised and eourage undiuntea it will again trivlapl over the combined force ot all its foes, ST IR To Remove the Apache: WASIINGTON, August 24, —There is no longer any reasonable doubt but that the gov- ernment has fully decided to permanently remove from the territory of Arizona those members of the Chiricahua and Warm Spring bands of Apaches now on San Carlos reser- vation.

TEETeTa UMBER 9. | 'FIRST BIG CAMPAIGY GUN, Ropublican State Convention in Iowa Opens To-Day. MANY WHEEL HORSES Renomination of the Ol Ticket Probable- A Key-Note That Will Kewecho in the Adironacks ~Courageons Kirkwood. IN LINE. Forecast of the Day's Work. Drs Moives, la qust 24— [Special Telegram to the Beis] - The indications of toanorTow’s meeting 10w point to one of the largest and most enthusiastic conventions ever held in the state, The arrivals to-night included Senator Alligon. Congressmen Hen- derson, of Dubuque, and Struble, of LeMarsg Ex-Governor Gear and many ot the old leaders of the party. One of the bost signs about this year's comvention is the large number of old wheel-horses offthe party who are to take partin it. It scems like one ot the old-time Towa conventions and it will in« clude many of the men, who for the last tew years have not been very enthusiastie over the republican party, but two ye: of a democratic administration have warmed up the old fires and turned them toward their first love. There will be no dilletanti tone to Towa republicanism as it shall be set forth to-morrow. Every republican here has his fighting clothes on, so to speak, and repub- lican enthuslasm runs high. As one of the fivst republican to hold a convention this year, the 1 republicans propose to sound a key-note that will not be mistaken, s0 the utteranees of the platform are likely to have o very stalwart flavor, Talk with various delegates shows that they generally favor striking straight out from the shoulder, and they intend that the administration, even in the recesses of the Adirondacks, shall know what lowa repub- licans think of its work. On the subject of pension vetoe the platform will probably speak very plainly, for lowa republicans have very warm feelings for Union soldiers, 80,000 of whom went from this state to put down the rebellion. On the temperance guestion no advance ground will be taken, s gwenerally thought the republican party has given the prohibitionists all the legislas tion that reason could ask, and it prohibition is ever tobe enforced it must be with the laws that have already been given. There wiltbe no fight on this subject and no at- tempt will be made to age ate or alienate the anti-prohibition republicans, who have borne a great deal in t st and yet stayed true to the party, There may be & resolution on the subject of senatorial back= ing to the impeachment trial, but s it will condemn back-pay and double-pay, and excuse no one who took more than what a strict and high minded construction of the constitution would allow. Towa republicans are getting on their mettle and propose to have no more strife or dissen= tions, butbury diffierences in atight against s common foe, $o the convention prouises to be unusually harmonious. The only possible bone of contention is the question of admit- ting the Anderson delerates from Fremont county. Indications point to the nomina- tion or Beardsley as auditor, though Lyons and Peck erowd close on his heels. Al the other state ofiicers will probably be renomi- nated. Grand Old Man Kirkwood, DEs Moines, Ia., Augzust 24.—[Special Tel- m to the Ber. |—Much delight is felt that ex-Governor Kirkwood has accepted the re- publican nowination for congress in the See- ond district.
